Lucky Jim

Description

Kingsley Amis's most famous book, often considered the funniest campus novel ever written, is here adapted into a highly successful comedy. Jim Dixon, an intelligent but hapless junior lecturer, tries to please a dim senior professor and a boring girlfriend, until things change dramatically for him. His misadventures are both hilarious and pitiful. As Jim Dixon, the British actor Ian Carmichael gave what some regard as his finest performance. Also starring Hugh Griffin and Terry-Thomas.
